Wisdoms

(verse 5)

1. Unconditional love is to treat your brother as you would
   a best friend; your best friend as you would your lover;
   your lover as you would your next door neighbor;
   your neighbor as you would God in His omnipotence.
    
2. Greed is the epitome of lust; ‘tis why the snake gets
   no rest. He can’t close his own aching eyes. Pity!
    
3. Be he that is generous and considerate, that thy may
   benefit in riches beyond your own imaginings.
    
4. Know this: to take advantage of one’s generosity, to take
   advantage of one’s charity and to take advantage of one’s
   ignorance is in essence homicidal, suicidal and genocidal.
   Thus the premise: see no evil, hear no evil, do no evil OR
   deaf, dumb & blind…
    
5. Poetry is an intellectual water, and thus an intelligent man’s
   elixir - forever quenching the thirst of parched minds worldwide.
    
6. Behind a closed door in an empty room -
   if you can laugh at yourself,
   you are of supreme character.
   Oh -- the things we do to amuse ourselves.
    
7. Whoever says, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,”
   is wrong. I say, “ Beauty rather lies (often subconsciously
   and invisibly) in the depths of the soul’s collarbone.”
